ALMA in Taiwan ASIAA CASA Development Center (ACDC, @ ASIAA) Taiwan ARC Node (@ ASIAA) Scientific and Outreach Activities (at ASIAA and Taiwanese Universities)
ASIAA CASA Development Center • ASIAA CASA Development Center (ACDC) • established on 2016 August 1st. • in collaboration with NRAO, with the funds of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) • Chin-Fei Lee is the ACDC manager Currently 6 full time staffs work for ACDC, including one software engineer • lead, three software engineers, one system manager, and one support scientist. The number of software engineers is expected to increase to 5 in 2019 • • More information can be found from http://alma.asiaa.sinica.edu.tw/acdc_intro.php
ASIAA CASA Development Center • Technical Work Areas Development at the ACDC will be fully integrated and coordinated • with the CASA team. For the initial year, the ACDC team will augment the effort of NRAO • on the next generation CASA image viewer; CARTA (Cube Analysis and Rendering Tool for Astronomy). The new CARTA is expected to be out the end of 2018. • The goal is to replace CASA viewer in CASA. •

ASIAA CASA Development Center The CARTA team is now reorganizing the GUI and the underlying architecture, in order to make CARTA more user friendly and easy to manage and add new functionalities. The new CARTA is expected to be out the end of 2018.
Taiwan ARC Node • established in November 2009, connecting to EA ARC and NA ARC • working with EA ARC for user support core functions (i.e., P2G, QA2, CS, Helpdesk, TA, AoD) • working with NA for enhanced functions The 2nd ALMA NA-Taiwan joint workshop in NTHU, Hsin-Chu, Taiwan in 2018 Feb • Magnetic Fields or Turbulence — which is the critical factor for the formation of stars • and planetary disks? • currently 9 ARC members Yusuke Aso joined from Apr 2017, Yu-Ting Wu moved to NAOJ • • organizing workshops / tutorials on-island in Taiwan, together with universities in Taiwan
Taiwan ARC Node One day CY5 users workshop in • March 2017 to update the status and introduce new capability to the local community Support 2017 UCAT ALMA • Summer Student Training Camp to introduce ALMA, radio astronomy, and a broad range of research subjects
Scientific and Outreach Activities ALMA-Taiwan Proposal Statistics For ALMA Cycle 5, Taiwan users submitted a total of 77 proposals, of which 5 received grade A, 16 grade B, and 9 grade C. In short, about 5% accepted proposals from Taiwan
Scientific and Outreach Activities ALMA-Taiwan Proposal Statistics • More proposals submitted through NA • Among 77 proposals submitted, 54 requested EA time, 22 for NA time, and 1 for shared EA/NA time • Out of the successful proposals, 16 have been granted EA time and 5 NA time • Large Programs : we have one ALMA-Taiwan Co-PI (Nanase Harada) of a successful Large Programme 2017.1.00161.L (PI: Francesco Costagliola)

Scientific and Outreach Activities Feeding a Baby Star with a Space Hamburger First detec*on of equatorial dark dust lane in a protostellar disk at submillimeter wavelength — For the first *me, this dark lane is seen at Beam � 0.02” (8 AU) submillimeter wavelength, producing a “hamburger”-shaped appearance that is reminiscent of the sca?ered-light image of an edge-on disk in op*cal and near infrared light Chin-Fie Lee, 2017, Science Advances
Scientific and Outreach Activities A rota*ng protostellar ALMA 0.02” jet launched from the resolution innermost disk of HH Observation of Jet- 212 — the highly disk in HH 212 collimated protostellar Protostellar System jets remove the residual angular Baby Star spits a momenta at the ∼ 0.05 "Spinning Jet” as it AU scale munches down on a “Space Hamburger" Chin-Fei Lee, 2017 Natural Astronomy
Scientific and Outreach Activities The large-scale nebular Eccentric orbit - AFGL 3068 spiral's bifurcation in pa?ern of a superwind AGB envelope binary in an eccentric orbit — high-resolu*on molecular line observa*ons of AFGL 3068 clearly reveal that the dynamics of the mass loss is influenced by the presence of an eccentric-orbit binary.
